3 Reasons The Memphis Grizzlies Should Trade For Markelle Fultz

A Small Market

The amount of pressure he has had since arriving in Philadelphia has been too much for him to handle.

The fans have tried to “trust the process” for so long but now they just want to win. The 76ers traded up to select him with the top pick in the draft but it hasn’t worked out.

Every move that he makes is in the national spotlight. Anytime he is seen working on his shot it is blown up around the basketball world.

You can tell it has taken a mental toll on him. That’s before we discuss all the physical issues he has had.

His shoulder injury has had a big impact on his shot and he still hasn’t found a way to fix it. Nobody knows for sure the reasoning for the issues but they exist and the media won’t stop talking about it.

The hype around him and the team continues to get bigger. They have been patient for years but after making the conference semifinals last season they are in win-now mode.

They showed that when they traded for Butler and it was an indicator that maybe the end of the line was coming for Fultz.

The national media will never go completely away but going to a small market team like Memphis would be good for him.

It would give him a chance to focus on his health and to improve as a basketball player without everything he does being seen around the world.
